There are many things that I don’t understand.
Billy GrahamEverything has been figured out, except how to live.
Jean-Paul SartreNothing can have value without being an object of utility.
Karl MarxThe greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.
Carl JungFame will go by and, so long, I’ve had you, fame. If it goes by, I’ve always known it was fickle. So at least it’s something I experience, but that’s not where I live.
Marilyn MonroeI do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.
Abraham LincolnWisdom allows nothing to be good that will not be so forever; no man to be happy but he that needs no other happiness than what he has within himself; no man to be great or powerful that is not master of himself.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaEverything is the product of one universal creative effort. There is nothing dead in Nature. Everything is organic and living, and therefore the whole world appears to be a living organism.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaIn my early teens, I knew I wanted to do television production. I loved cameras, editing and producing, anything that had to do with television production. My friend had a production studio across town, and we’d go over there at night and shoot and edit. I produced my father’s televised service for 17 years.
Joel OsteenTake advantage of the years of pioneering efforts. You might find this boring, as the young want to rush head on, as it were.
Edmund HillaryIt appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.
Henry David ThoreauStart with God – the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.
King SolomonThe ‚I think‘ which Kant said must be able to accompany all my objects, is the ‚I breathe‘ which actually does accompany them.
William JamesIf a man loses his reverence for any part of life, he will lose his reverence for all of life.
Albert SchweitzerWisdom begins in wonder.
SocratesThere is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William ShakespeareHe alone is free who lives with free consent under the entire guidance of reason.
Baruch SpinozaMost of the people that I deal with are human. So I’ve had a lot of experience with that.
Carl SaganIf you can’t read, the only thing you can do is enjoy the pictures, not the whole story. Reading is the key to knowledge. Knowledge is the key to understanding. So read on, young man! Read on, young lady!
Mr. TWho shall decide when doctors disagree, And soundest casuists doubt, like you and me?
Alexander PopeIf a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.

Steven WrightReal living is living for others.
Bruce LeeThe book you don’t read won’t help.
Jim RohnOne of the most important things you learn from the Internet is that there is no ‚them‘ out there. It’s just an awful lot of ‚us.‘
Douglas AdamsPoets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars – mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?
Richard P. FeynmanHow could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living?
Henry David ThoreauSweet is the memory of past troubles.
Marcus Tullius CiceroWe are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
BuddhaIf you realize all the time what’s kind of wonderful – that is, if we expand our experience into wilder and wilder regions of experience – every once in a while, we have these integrations when everything’s pulled together into a unification, in which it turns out to be simpler than it looked before.
Richard P. FeynmanEducation is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
Nelson MandelaWell, I was 29 years old when I came to the United States Senate, and I have learned a lot.
Joe BidenMost ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don’t know because we don’t want to know.
Aldous HuxleyI think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.
Henry David ThoreauThe way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
Alexander PopeI learned a long time ago how to be coachable.
Dwayne JohnsonFacts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Aldous HuxleyThere must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
PlatoThere is nothing good or evil save in the will.
EpictetusIf I shall exist eternally, how shall I exist tomorrow?
Franz KafkaTo be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.
Marcus Tullius CiceroI learned from my dog long before I went to Gombe that we weren’t the only beings with personalities. What the chimps did was help me to persuade others.
Jane GoodallIf knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
Isaac AsimovThere is no such thing as Something for nothing.

George Bernard ShawReality is a sliding door.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI think the materialist conception of history is valid.
Christopher HitchensThe absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.
Albert CamusI read Plato’s ‚Republic.‘ I read it through about five times until I could actually understand it.
Huey NewtonAll that I know about my life, it seems, I have learned in books.
Jean-Paul SartreThe wisest have the most authority.
PlatoThe beginning of an acquaintance whether with persons or things is to get a definite outline of our ignorance.
George EliotI do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.
Baruch SpinozaWithout pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.
Angelina JolieThere are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.
Henry David ThoreauHe that hath knowledge spareth his words.
Francis Bacon
